Cyprus FM Constantinos Kombos met on Monday with his counterpart Murat Nurtleu in Astana, Kazakhstan, where he is paying an official visit.
Kombos said in a post on platform X that they discussed bilateral ties, regional and international developments and the Cyprus issue.
“A pleasure to begin my official visit to Astana today with substantive and in-depth discussions with Foreign Minister Murat Nurtleu,” he noted.
He said that they had the opportunity to assess the level and depth of Cyprus-Kazakstan bilateral relations, as well as its immense potential.
“I briefed my counterpart on the Cyprus problem, and exhanged views on EU-Kazakhstan relations as well as regional and international developments,” he noted.
Cyprus has been divided since 1974, when Turkey invaded and occupied its northern third. Repeated rounds of UN-led peace talks have so far failed to yield results. The latest round of negotiations, in July 2017 at the Swiss resort of Crans-Montana ended inconclusively.
